As a School Psychologist, I have studied about what makes people “experts” in a certain field. People become experts by practicing something for a long period of time and developing skills in that activity. By this definition, I do not believe that I am an “expert” at any one niche or activity. I do not even believe that I am particularly an “expert” in psychology. Rather, my brother has described me as a “Jack-of-all-trades and master of nothing.” This means that I pursue such a wide variety of hobbies that I have not had time to hone my skills in any particular one of them.
There is a few things I know for sure that I am not terrible at, but not particularly an expert. I am good at maintaining calm in stressful situations. I am good at explaining complicated subjects in simpler terms. I am good at provoking others thoughts, and sometimes I am good at making people laugh.
I believe that I have developed these skills over time by the experiences that have shaped me. I have practiced emotional self-regulation techniques in order to stay calm in stressful situations. My parents have taught me that sometimes its ok to laugh and they taught me not to take myself so seriously that I sabotage my goals and stress out. I enjoy finding new ways to explain science information to others so that they can use science techniques and ideas in their lives.
I am by no means an expert at these things. I am not even sure if I am good at them because no one has evaluated me in these areas. However, I like doing them, which means I am going to continue to actively pursue ways to get better at doing them, so that I can do them more.
